I could possibly see either Bryan or Cena painting up their faces for Raw.

No.
What in the hell, I'm refusing to read any speculation, just checking posts from WWE and such and this is a heartbreaker if this is actually true.
I hope it isn't but, christ, this is not what I wanted to wake up to.

Wow, so close from his induction, even closer than Sherri's death was. This is so shocking and sad.

What's really not fair is the loss his wife and kids have to deal with now. They really looked into the whole HOF ceremony, and now those two young girls have to grow up without a father. Truly a shame in every respect him passing away.

Rumor from TMZ is that Warrior collapsed as he was leaving his hotel. Still pure speculation, but my thinking? The toll of exertion over the weekend (the travel there, tons of photo-op/promotional work, interviews, meetings, the actual appearances and then a flight back home) was it. Everyone keeps saying he was in fine health just last night. We don't know that. Look at that twitter picture from this morning. He's beet red. He may very well have known this was on its way soon at some point - possibly previous, undisclosed incidents; medical check-ups, whatever else would have clued him in that time was no longer on his side - but right now, we don't know. Speculation still, but maybe that's why he buried the hatchet. He knew he wasn't in good health anymore and wanted to set up something for his family. Maybe it was that last plane ride that did it. Pressurized cabins aren't kind on ailing body systems. Even factoring in the locations - going from Louisiana to lower-oxygen, drier Arizona was a shock to his system. Maybe it was all part of it. The way he was carrying himself last night looked like he was experiencing some health problems. He did not look well at all. I'm just hoping this story puts away the suicide theories that were out there. That's one theory I was hoping would get nixed immediately, specifically because of his wife and two young girls.

This is heartbreaking and so tragic for his wife and two young daughters, who all seemed so happy Saturday night.
As for Warrior, at least he was able to make peace and bury the hatchet with so many folks. It seems that he had moved to a better place mentally and spiritually recently. I'll take solace in that.
Sad, sad, sad night.

Very touching stuff, though I really wish Barrett had not used the word news.

Whenever I think of Warrior, I always remember the Ultimate Warrior night light I had as a kid. I wonder how many other kids had that same one. Probably tons.

Wow
you know there arent that many deaths that shock me in this day and age especially in Wrestling.
Guerrero, Benoit and possibly Savage are the small few.
But considering we just saw this guy at the Hall of Fame, Wrestlemania etc, this just seems so surreal.
When I first got into Wrestling, Ultimate Warrior was pretty much "The Guy" probably just behind Hulk Hogan.
In away it makes me glad Warrior and WWE patched things up and he got his Hall of Fame induction when he did.
But yeah, even now I'm just having a tough time believing this.
R.I.P Ultimate Warrior
Thanks for the memories

Whenever I think of Warrior, I always remember the Ultimate Warrior night light I had as a kid. I wonder how many other kids had that same one. Probably tons. I took great offense at the half decade a go comments in regards to his homophobia and such, but he seemed to grow and be more at peace with the world, be more accepting and respectable to all after that...he wasn't such a jerk and didn't seem to have any problems with people outside of those he'd personally engaged with in his past career. And beyond that, he was my guy when I was a toddler/young child, I remember wearing out a Wrestlemania 6 VHS in hospital when doctors found out I had type 1 diabetes for years and they hadn't realized until I was about to turn 3 (/cue hospital time for kidney issues) and stuff like Warrior kept me happy and got me hooked on pro-wrestling and...the character was like Undertaker losing last night, this is my/our childhood turning the page. Wow, actually in tears considering this. Thanks, Warrior, you did a lot for me as a kid, Warrior spirit will live on.

I am really starting to think he knew his time was coming soon, I think he mended fences with the company, got his legacy restored, and made things right before he passed.
I even think he may have told Vince, who signed him to the contract, and intends to honor it so his family is taken care of for a while.

Already watched it tonight. It's bittersweet. Probably his best match, though Warrior, Macho, Liz, Sherri, and Gorilla are all gone and Heenan has been robbed of his voice. It's a hard match to watch.

I'm quite numb at this. I was about to head into work but decided to check twitter and saw the outpouring of grief and news from everyone. For me it's not only the fact one of my heroes has passed, it's also the timing. He had only recently been recognised publicly again as a positive part of WWE history, something we should have been given time to enjoy.
My prayers are with his entire family, in particular his wife and two daughters. May you rest in peace Warrior.
